Blood Volume (Estimated)

This calculation uses the formula of Nadler et al., to predict the total blood volume in a person based upon height and weight. There are separate formulas based upon gender.

Output is in Liters of Blood

Males = 0.3669 x Ht in M^3 + 0.03219 x Wt in kgs + 0.6041

Females = 0.3561 x Ht in M^3 + 0.03308 x Wt in kgs + 0.1833

Note:

  • Ht in M = Height in Meters, which is then cubed
  • Wt in kgs = Body weight in kilograms
